The John Hancock Center. Chicago, Illinois, 1969, 1127ft, Steel. New Heights for Chicago. The John Hancock Center (Figure 1) was completed in 1968 by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) at 876 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
Chicago imposed a height limit of 40 meters in 1893, but New York raced ahead with large and tall blocks. Many of these, such as the Singer, Woolworth, MetLife and Chrysler buildings, tapered off with campanile towers, battling to be tallest in the world. The first skyscraper to break the half-kilometer mark, the world's tallest building between March 2004 and March 2010 is also one of the greenest -- certified LEED platinum in 2011.
